Frustration Point

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I get so endlessly tired of people taking my work and using my words to build up their webpages. I guess they don’t even take into account that it is stealing. Even if the article, story, poem what-have-you appears on the Internet, it DOES NOT give anyone the right to take that author’s work and […]

Kitten mauled by dog

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Meet Kingston, he had the unfortunate experience of meeting a feral dog and still lives to tell the tale. He has been at the vet for four days. He has a swollen throat and neck, wounds on his back and rump, and he is scared to death. I have him on fluids and antibiotics. He […]

I’m getting an early Christmas Present!

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I wasn’t going to attend the Cat Writers’ Convention this year even though I wanted to. The money that I make on my articles all go towards the animals and money is fairly limited. I talked with my Dad the other day and he was kind enough to send me the money just for the […]

Fallen off the blog radar

Charlie, bless his pea-pickin heart has brought in several viruses to the household. I now have 5 kittens in various stages of the feline herpesvirus and the calicivirus. There are mouth and nasal ulcers so the kittens are all sequestered upstairs where they are medicated in various ways about five times a day. I […]

Charlie’s Progress

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I am pleased to say that Charlie is not open mouth breathing any longer! He is still gurgling a bit and still coughing a tiny bit but today he was so active in his room with his new toys it made my heart soar.
Right now my dirty kitchen is calling my name so I need […]

The Charlie Report

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

After last night being so rocky, first thing this morning, I took Charlie into the vet’s office where they worked us in. I talked with Dr. Walker at great length about Charlie’s hitching breath, his open-mouth breathing which could indicate a heart murmur or heart problem. His passage of worms (still) the dry hacking cough […]

The Charlie Report

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Charlie started getting dehydrated yesterday evening. I gave him fluids and it didn’t seem to matter much. I waited for the bubble to vanish and gave him more, but he was still dehydrated. His third eyelid is creeping over on his good eye indicating either dehydration or fever or both. He has a fever. […]

Keeper of the Calicos

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Received another kitten and she is a sweetie! We are calling her Panic, because she certainly is one! She has taken a shine to Charlie and they cuddle together. I take that as a sign that she needs to stay with him. She is so tiny. Found in the pouring rain hiding under a bush. […]
